Middle & High School Programs

This is the age of initiation into practicing adulthood, while still having one foot in childhood. It is a time of great change with magical possibilities for using spiritual principles, practices and concepts learned to manifest a truly unique life, standing apart from the crowd, yet belonging to a safe and supportive peer group. MAGIC is a place for middle school-aged youth to discover their “intrinsic magic”: the Divine individualization filled with limitless possibilities that they are here to express. MAGIC participants are also encouraged to participate in COMING OF AGE (COA), a year-long program of transformation, rites of passage and vision questing for both the youth and their parents. COA takes place outside of the Sunday program.

RADIANCE – High School Youth Group

Teens come together to create authentic bonds of love and support for each other as they meet the challenges of their diverse lives. They learn to become skilled listeners for each other, to work through judgments and beliefs that are no longer serving their highest good, and to practice loving compassion, forgiveness and empathy. In a world where teens may experience bullying, peer pressure and negativity, they are empowered with fresh perspectives, principles and tools to help them transform their lives into masterful, radiant works of art. They are the Light, the RADIANCE of the Divine, individualized in service for: themselves, for each other, for community and for the world. This group participates in activities outside of the regular Sunday meeting time including: fieldtrips, overnighters, camps, fundraisers and service projects.

COMING OF AGE PROGRAM (COA)

This Rites of Passage program was created for 7th-9th graders, ages 12-14, initiating into adulthood. This program is currently offered once a year and runs January through June. There is a charge for Coming of Age, as well as a required full commitment from both the youth and the family to attend all the events.
